Name a star and join the ranks of celebrities, dignitaries, and special people worldwide who have been honored to receive a star in the Heavens shining in their name. When you name a star, you will receive the same iconic International Star Registry parchment certificate that hangs proudly in homes all over the globe. You will also receive a sky chart with the star's location indicated and circled and a booklet about astronomy. When you name a star there are numerous package options, including framing options, engraved sterling silver jewelry, a "photographic sky chart" and more. How does International Star Registry name stars?: Through the centuries, the stars above us have been recorded in dozens of different astronomical catalogs created by scientists throughout the world. Modern scientists do not refer to most of these catalogs. In 1979, International Star Registry was founded for the specific purpose of allowing everyone on Earth to take part in claiming a special connection to the starry skies above us. We broke with scientific tradition and created a completely unique catalog of the stars, assigning names to stars and listing them alphabetically rather than by size and location. Although we have great respect and gratitude for the scientific community, and benefit greatly from the research and discoveries so many great minds have brought to us all, we believe the stars do not belong solely to the scientific community, but to everyone. There are many of us that are moved by the stars in very personal way.Our star catalog, titled "Your Place in the Cosmos", contains the names along with the telescopic coordinates of these stars. It is not a listing used by the International Astronomical Union or other members of the scientific community. The purpose of this unique list of stars is to honor someone special. It is intended to be a lasting and beautiful gift. This catalog of star names is the ONLY PUBLISHED LISTING of this type in the world. We name stars for people and publish all of the star names with their telescopic coordinates in this book as a permanent, copyrighted record of the star name and location. Each star is unique. We derive all of the coordinates from the publicly available NASA Hubble Guide Star Catalog and name each star only once. Because the star names and coordinates are printed in these hard-cover volumes, 100 years from now our descendants can locate the recipient's name in the book along with the telescopic coordinates of the unique star named. 10 volumes of the book "Your Place in the Cosmos" (Library of Congress Catalog No. 84-63015) have been published and copyrighted in the United States thus far. We are headquartered in Illinois and have been in business for over 40 years. We are a member of the Better Business Bureau with an A+ rating.
